12 advantages to choosing the Law Office of Will M. Helixon
You Won’t Pay for International Travel for Military Lawyers in Germany.
When evaluating U.S.-based military lawyers for your case in Germany or Europe, it’s essential to be aware of the potential additional costs associated with international travel. Unlike our competitors, many of whom demand business class tickets and charge separately for travel expenses, the Law Office of Will M. Helixon, with military lawyers in Germany, offers a transparent fee structure that only involves necessary travel within Germany. This means you won’t be burdened with unexpected travel costs that can significantly drive up your legal fees.
In a court-martial case, the military lawyer typically needs to make three crucial appearances: the arraignment, motions hearing, and the actual trial. However, some U.S.-based lawyers may choose to “skip” the arraignment or motions hearing to avoid excessive travel overseas. Instead, they might have a detailed military lawyer cover these proceedings with the client’s approval, or they may avoid filing motions altogether. These decisions can compromise your legal representation and may result in missed opportunities to defend your rights effectively.
Before hiring a U.S.-based military lawyer, it’s important to inquire about their travel plans for your case in Germany. Ask how many times they anticipate traveling to Germany and Europe. These additional international travel expenses can accumulate quickly and add over $10,000 to $15,000 to your originally quoted attorney fees, making it crucial to have a clear understanding of the financial implications.
At the Law Office of Will M. Helixon, we prioritize your convenience and financial well-being. As residents of Germany with offices strategically located in the country, we eliminate the need for international travel costs.
